Hi all, for those of you who have been here for over a year you will remember we had a 'virtual' Christmas party on-line last year in which all the regulars got together to play a few games, take part in a virtual gymkhana and have a good old chat. Was just wondering if you all wanted a repeat this year?
If so, any suggestions for a date most of us will be around? And any suggestions for games and other activities. I thought we could maybe have a vitual 3 day event this year instead of a gymkhana.
BTW if anyone wants to check out what happened last year all the 2008 Christmas party stuff if on a sub-board in the members only section. Have just been re-reading the gymkhana thread and having a bit of a giggle.

I think it would depend on the date. If I remember correctly, I missed last years due to a (rl) party.

Last years was on 13th Dec on a Saturday afternoon/night I think. So round about that date again would be good, let me know if you all prefer weekend or weekday. I don't know if you can remember but I had a power cut just as I was about to set it up and it was late starting!
Kunuma...well maybe a one day event ;D

I have a rl party on the 19th, but staying over (at the hotel) so most of the 20th is out. I dont have internet access at weekdays, so a weekend is ideal for me.

Yes I seem to remember the weekend being better for most of us last year. Also the overseas members may be able to join in then through the day. I'm not going to a RL party this year so I am fairly easy on the time or date. Anyone know what day Christmas is on this year?

Any weekend would be O.K. with me. Last year I couldn't log-in and I had to come on as a guest so I hope it has less problems this time round. Hope my horse behaves better in the One Day Event than in the gymkhana ;D

What about Saturday 12th December then? Like last year we can have some quizzes and stuff that go on for a few more days so everyone can join in to some extent. Also if we have the virtual one day event we can have a few days before hand preparing for it and picking ponies etc. I'm trying to find the web page where I posted the ponies from the gymkhana in case people wanted the same ones Another idea I've had is that if anyone wants to send me photos of themselves I can try and photoshop them into pony book covers!!! ie 'zoe had 2 ponies' instead of 'Jill had 2 ponies' etc. You could even print them out and put them on a real book for a giggle. ;D Or could put people's head shots into pics on the face in the hole website - I know kunuma has leanings towards being a supermodel ;D Other ideas I've come up with a christmas themed limerick competition and reviving the write our own pony book thread (altho a short story might be better!) Any more ideas drop me a line and also let me know if the 12th will be OK for most of you.

My imagination is running riot at the thought of all the books I'd like to become a character in (well on the front of anyway) I spend far too much time interacting with the characters in them, I might as well take over one of them, talk about invasion of the body snatchers! ;D ;D But we ought to look like them as much as possible too of course Um, just rushing off to watch the 'Ten ( errm well that would be a start) Years Younger' programme for a LOT of tips

What a shame mysteryarab, I'll miss you. But never mind, you've probably got loads of RL parties to go to. (I know I did at your age.) Unlike some of us old fossils! Anyway there will be plenty of stuff going on for a few days before and after

Just to remind everything our on-line Christmas party has been scheduled for Saturday 12th December. Hope to 'see' lots of you there but if you can't make it there will be stuff going on either side of the day itself. Dont forget to post any other ideas you may have for silly games and stuff!
